yes there is a code to reset the security feature. If you get in touch with Pioneer they can get you the manual on it or at least describe over the phone how to reset the security code. I had to have the security chip replaced on one then it worked, cost me about $100.00. I hope you can reset the code instead of replacing the chip.
I called them last week,and the guy I talked to was like "wow thats a really old radio".He really didnt know what to tell me.He gave me a number to a radio shop near me that deals in Pioneer thats it.Do you know of a direct way to get in touch with someone at Pionner that would know what I need?Any help would be appreciated.Also does what I described sound like what happens when it needs to be reset? Thanks again.

According to the manual from my 88-335 the preset code is 0000 as foxbodysaleen19 stated. After you enter the 4-digit code press the BAND button. If you have entered the correct code PASs will appear on the display for 1 minute and it should work the instant it appears. If you enter the wrong code 3 consecutive times the unit will electronically lock, blocking any input for 3 hours.
Let me know if you need more information.

Funny what kind of rare knowledge you pick up over the years huh?
The funny thing was whn I read V8stang's post I thought it was funny that he actually typed the last "s" in PASs because that is actually how the radio display reads it out when you are on that step. Boy, good memories. I have not thought about that in years.

The 0000 is just the dummy code from the factory. That remains the code unless the owner changed the code to one of his/her liking. If no one changed the code then you will only need to enter 0000 then BAND as the code. Try entering 0000 followed by hitting the BAND button and see if that works. If not you might attempt a few trial and errors of simple codes (ie. 1111, 1234, 4321 etc....)
Hope this helps,

I do have one more thing for you to try, straight from the manual. (this is going to be kind of long)..
This will hopefully register a new code as if the radio was just installed new.
1. Turn the ignition key to ON or ACC. Simultaneously press the fast forward and rewinds buttons to eject the cassette ( i guess even if there's not one in there), and press the FAD/VOL knob to switch power OFF. Next press the same FAD/VOL knob while holding down the band button. This should cause the PASs to appear on the display.
2. Simultaneously press both ends of the SEEK/MANU button while PASs is shown on the display.
3. The message COde will flash on the display to indicate that the code registration is now possible.
4. Use the numeric input buttons to register the 4-digit number of your choice. Using numbers 1-9 as shown in my previous post. If you happen to enter more than four numbers the last four entered will be the code.
5. The entered value is registered as the code by pressing the band buttion after imput is complete. The display will be cleared once this is done and normal operation of the unit will be possible.
This the only other thing I know to suggest.
I have read through this manual and I don't see anything about leaving the radio on/off for 24 hours.
Good Luck
